New Emerson Safety Controller Streamlines Integration
Emerson sends few news items these days. I’m not even invited to events. This news item intrigued me partly because I’ve heard almost nothing about safety controllers for years. I’m no longer familiar with the PACSystems product line that Emerson acquired several...
Social Media, Enough Is Enough
I’ve given this topic a lot of thought. An eclectic reader, I read wisdom literature wherever I can uncover it. I found this teaching from the Christian New Testament. The intersection of technology and ethics (or lack thereof) concerns me. Everyone I’ve met working...
Finding Hidden Potential
I recently reviewed Adam Grant’s latest book, Think Again, about the value of taking a second (or third) look at what you’ve thought before. This book, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things, takes a look at achievement. Grant’s talent consists of...
Curiosity And Other Tips For Growth and Fulfillment
Twice yesterday I was introduced to the idea of curiosity as the guiding principle. Curiosity has certainly been my constant companion for as long as memory goes. Barry Diller described curiosity as the cornerstone for a successful career on Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable...

Good-boss friendly
I have had some good bosses and a bunch of bad ones. I tried to be a good boss, but I bet there are some people who worked “for” me that would dispute that. As a soccer referee assigner, I try hard to be fair while also putting officials on the games where they would...
Example of Poor Reporting
I am on vacation, yet devoting hours to my avocation--assigning soccer referees to high school games. When disputes happen, I'm always in the middle. I've devoted several hours to that this week. Meanwhile, I still check the news. I have two favorite news sources. One...
Save the Web from AI’s Oligarchs
How are you searching on the Web these days? I still use Ecosia that realistically uses Google. Some, any way. You get many ads, a few links. Over time, though, the value of the links has continued to dwindle. When I want a deep search with follow up and deeper probe,...
